I picked this beauty up from CL. I am the third owner. The last PO had this drill press for ~3 years and did not use it much. The original owner sold it when he was in his late 70's and was closing down his shop. No further information was available at the time of the purchase.

This is a great example of an early Walker Turner 900 series bench top drill press. It is in great shape with only some minor damage to the table. It came complete with the original Walker Turner switch, 1/2 HP Walker Turner motor, and spindle cap. The badge is the type that was only used in 1939 or so I am told by other members. The serial number - 9DP7390 also bears out the 1939 date.
It also came with the ship's wheel style feed lever which made it impossible for me to pass up.

I paid $175 which may have been a bit high but I was OK with the price.
